The Ulster Gundog League held an Open Stake for any variety setter and pointers at Slieveanorra on Saturday 3rd October 2009. The judges were Michael Houston and **********. The weather was mostly dry, the main feature being the wind. Since I wasn’t there I couldn’t measure it but the term “Gale force” was bandied about. Grouse and the odd snipe showed regularly during the day and by all accounts it was an enjoyable day on the hill.
Result:-
1st Rushfield Shellin Carol Calvert’s Irish Setter bitch.
2nd Craigrua Kansas Desi Linton’s Red & White Setter dog.
3rd Shinilogue Fionn Davy O’Neill’s Irish Setter bitch.
